Design

Elegant two-tone finish

Light silver merges with metallic black in a two-tone scheme that attracts from any angle. The keyboard and all slots, including that of the DVD±RW drive, feature the same metallic black finish. This gives the VAIO K76P an appealing look of quality and unified refinement.

Distinctive lines

When viewed from the side, the bold lines of VAIO K76P become clearly apparent. The wedge-shaped base supports a slanted keyboard and palm rest area that contribute to a more natural and pleasurable typing experience. It’s a difference you can see, as well as feel.

Meticulous attention to detail

VAIO K76P has a look of exquisite craftsmanship, thanks to its highly refined finish and various stylish accents. A silver inlaid VAIO logo graces the top and an eye-catching Memory Stick mark highlights the otherwise subdued palm rest area. Even the LED indicators are uniquely designed. Located to the right, above the keyboard and beneath a silver mesh that also houses the speakers, they illuminate with a colourful glow that adds pleasure to the VAIO K76P experience.

Visual Freedom

Clear Bright LCD: the name says it all

The 15˝ Clear Bright LCD (1024 ⋅ 768) brings out all the beauty of your images, letting you more fully enjoy the VAIO K76P. This bright screen displays images more vividly at higher contrast and its glare filter curbs light diffusion without dimming brightness, realising blacker blacks and more vivid colours. An AR coating also minimises annoying reflection from external light sources, resulting in an easier to view display. You’ll find it perfect for viewing DVDs and 3D games and editing video images.
